Have you ever wanted to show your support for pussy power—by actually dressing up as one? If the answer is yes, you’re in luck: a Brooklyn company is manufacturing Lycra and polyester costumes designed to look like a vajayjay! The company, Conceived in Brooklyn, has been making headlines lately for their adorable, $149 pink costume, which also has a philanthropic aim: to celebrate women’s vaginas!
“A vagina costume can provoke an uncomfortable response,” reads the company’s website. “Our intent is to draw attention to a topic that many people aren’t aware of.” What the company’s doing is often called “vagactivism,” defined as “a delightful form of activism that champions women’s rights by destigmatizing and celebrating the vagina.” If it isn’t totally clear how wearing a giant vagina costume will do that, besides showing pussy pride, Conceived in Brooklyn has promised to donate $10 of every $149 to 50 Cents. Period., an organization that promotes women’s health, menstrual hygiene, and sex education around the world. The costume company is also trying to spread the vagina love on social media with the hashtag #costumeforacause. So, if you want to show your love for the vag—and you don’t mind looking like a giant pink hotdog—you know where you can find your cute vulva costume!
